Development Coach Joe McBride adds Stanton, who has scored at a prolific rate for the Development squad when called upon this season, to his team and says he wants the group to replicate the level of performance produced during the 4-1 win at Rangers.
Speaking to hibernianfc.co.uk, McBride said: “We’re looking to continue what we’ve been doing for the past three or four weeks.
“Since our result at Rangers, our performances have dropped a wee bit, so we’re looking to get back up to that standard at St Johnstone.”
Goalkeeper Sean Brennan has joined Preston Athletic on loan until the end of the season and he made his debut against Spartans last week.
Defender Ben Stirling featured as a substitute for Scotland under-17s during the team’s 2-1 win over Romania at Rugby Park last week.
